If Detroit wins the cup this year, and continues to be a force in the nhl, will Babcock be considered to be as great as Scottie Bowman? better? How much of Detroit's success can be contributed to Babcock and Bowman?

Babcock has one cup and has been coach for almost 6 years.

Bowman has 9 cups with 3 different teams.

I think Babcock needs a little more time and a couple of different challenges with different teams before putting him in the same sentence as Bowman.

It seems like every time the Wings get scored on, they cut to a shot of Babcock on the bench, and he grabs his water bottle and takes a drink. I hope tonight he takes so many drinks that he pisses himself midway through the 3rd.

I've noticed that too, but it was the same with Bowman, except he'd grab a handful of ice.One other thing i've noticed is with Hossa, and not just with the Wings, but last year with the Pens, that when he goes to the bench he always has someone put a towel on his left shoulder.
